A little background on my random. We've been trying to get our little girl our of our bed since she turned 2. She would not sleep in her toddler bed. She turned 4 last week and we splurged on this bed. It's insane. Most I have ever spent on a bed. Husband puts it together yesterday. She was SO excited. She climed up and down at least 10 times, playing, getting her blankets etc. She climbs down one last time to get her stuffed cat and falls the last 2 steps. She wasn't hurt but it scared the crap out of her and she refuses to get back up there. *SIGH* Spent last night in our bed

Oh no! I am so sorry! Kids can be sooo stubborn! I hope she likes it again soon!

My last OB appointment was the first one my husband couldn't come to, but the doc could feel the baby's head so he took my hand and showed me and it was really cool! Well last night she was positioned so her head was pushing right up against my skin again so I showed DH where to touch and he was so excited it was cute. Later that night I rolled over in my sleep, but he was still up watching tv and he started giving me this goofy smile so I asked him what he was smiling about, he told me, "I love watching you roll over at night. You have to like, swing your big ol' belly around to get on your other side." Thanks babe haha. He then sort of redeemed himself by telling me he loves my belly haha.

Also, I keep having dreams where I pee in the dream and I'm terrified that one day I'll wake up and it won't just be a dream! Fortunately, that hasn't happened... yet.

And regarding the animals and roadkill, earlier this year my mom saw a baby turtle trying to cross a busy road so she pulled over and directed traffic around him. She decided she was going to take him home and give him to me to add to my zoo of animals I currently have, so she got a towel and was laying it out in the back of her jeep, well as soon as she started doing that another car drove by, but over-swerved so he wasn't driving so close to my mom's pulled over car and managed to run right over mr. baby turtle =( So she inadvertently killed him. She felt so terrible. I'm so glad I haven't hit anything with any of my cars.

Well, failed my 3 hour GTT majorly. All 4 levels were high so I've earned myself the GD diagnosis. I'm really excited to start stabbing myself in the finger 4 times a day beginning tomorrow.

Oh no! So sorry to hear this. Maybe treat yourself to some fashionable bandaids to help make it somewhat better?

I'm sowwy

Thanks guys. I know people are and have dealt with much worse but I'm just taking a few minutes to feel sorry for myself. haha. I guess a positive is I'll get growth scans so I'll get an extra few peeks at our girl.

Another super random...I bought two pairs of fleece lined leggings at Walgreens yesterday...2 for $12. I'm wearing one pair today, and they just might be the most comfortable and warm pair of leggings I own, and they sit right below my belly but still stay up! I'm ridiculously excited.

Looks like I'm heading to walgreens! My friend (also pregnant) told me she got some from there but I expected them to be super cheap and sheer. Glad to know someone else likes them!

Also, my daughter just told me "no more diapers, I wear panties." Hold me. I think I'm about to clean up a lot of pee this afternoon....

SheHulk723 · November 2014

I just got the best text ever. (Sorry in advance for the TMI) A little background - my husband has some sleep disorders and it can be very very very hard for him to wake up in the mornings, although lately he's been getting more of a routine and started doing a little better. But I just got a text saying, "I wanna try to have more morning sex" which just made my day, because I'm ALWAYS ready to get it on in the mornings but he almost never is. So if he wants to try harder, I am alllllll for that

) That's the best way to start the day lol.

snowbaby1214 · November 2014

Congrats, @LuckyPenny1231! After a few days, it will be awesome!

Sent DH out to get lunch. Sometimes it's beneficial always having him around...

I am realizing that baby boys movements have changed quite a bit...Im assuming its just because he has gotten bigger, but sometimes it freaks me out a little and makes me stressed. Please say I am not alone!?!?!?

On another note- DH and I start our baby classes tonight and I have my baby shower on Saturday. Im hoping these things will keep my mind off of silly worries that are filling my brain!

Baby's movements have definitely changed over here

I picked up the Huggies diaper couponer deal that is going on now via CVS. Paid $26 out of pocket and got 8 packs of diapers and a $10 rewards credit still to spend! $2 a jumbo pack, I'll take it!!

@Britt1406, I usually buy CVS brand diapers, which they often have on sale or with a 25% off coupon, but I couldn't pass up that Huggies deal either! And DS is so excited to have diapers with Mickey Mouse on them.

honeybeee3 · November 2014

@vjdk07‌ I'm sorry about your test

HUGS!

@papapalie‌ baby movements have definitely changed for me. My LO is getting so strong an is constantly on the move. Sometimes I'm afraid he's going to break my insides!

Random moment of immaturity: I was just feeding DS a snack and I came across this Cheeto hehehe...

LadyXaverian · November 2014

@bustysinclare Ugh. I'm sorry she fell, and I'm sorry she ended up in your bed again. Maybe tonight will be the night.

@vjdk07 I'm sorry about your GD diagnosis.

LadyXaverian · November 2014

My randoms:

- Nora woke up all bright eyed and bushy tailed at 4:40 a.m. Is she effing kidding me?? She was in the best mood; I was not. Neither was DH. lol

- I had my 1hour GTT today. Orange glucose. Mmmm! I actually don't mind it, but what I did mind was getting stuck with a needle 3 times while they tried to get my blood draw.

(

- I also had a growth ultrasound today. Not surprisingly, baby girl is measuring "ahead" (a higher %ile), which isn't surprising since Nora was 9 lbs 2 oz. Today, Matilda was looking to be 3lbs 8 oz (ish)! At 28w1d!

- I am into every other week appointments!!!!!!!

- It is a teacher in-service day, so this afternoon, I'm in my class all alone with the radio playing and half-Bumping/half- grading papers. I'm so sad FB is blocked at school. Womp womp.

GracefulStar · November 2014

@vjdk07‌ - so sorry about your results. Do you have to test four times a day for the rest of your pregnancy? Or will it all depend on the results you get daily? I'm waiting for my son to wake up so I can vote, go shopping and maybe go to the park. It's beautiful out today! @MusicFanatic‌ - enjoy your visit outside! I hope it's nice for you. Do you have a nice view from your window inside at all?

@GracefulStar- 50's and raining and I enjoyed every second of it, thank you! Not sure my nurse did, but that's ok!

I do have a view- I have two windows in my room.

I have just gone through my entire wardrobe. I have 2 garbage bags for donation. 1 garbage bag for my surrogate for after baby. And 1 garbage bag for my sister who is losing weight and needs transition clothing.

Feels good man. I can breathe again when I look at the closet.

I have seriously been debating on doing the same thing today, just couldn't find the motivation. But after seeing your post, I think I will

thanks!

I bet the fresh air was amazing though!

Another random- I thought I had a cute outfit picked out for my baby shower but now I feel the cardigan makes me look frumpy... and my hips must have spread more I guess because the skirt looks a little off... what did you guys wear??

Mine was a surprise so I was wearing a maternity shirts (with horizontal stripes) and maternity jeans with flip flops

sfgiantsgamerbabe · November 2014

DH likes to play music in the morning while he gets ready and the first song was Live is Life by Opus. It's been in my head ALL FREAKING DAY! It's a ridiculous song but it's catchy.

Edvent · November 2014

How is it still Tuesday? This week is grueling! I think it's a conspiracy by the universe since I'm leaving town on Thursday.

I had my 28 week appointment and all is well other than my BP was up a little. It's only 135/78, but it's creeping like it did last time and that makes me nervous. Also since I failed one of the levels of the 3 hour GTT I'm considered "glucose intolerant" and need to re-do the 3 hour in a month... fun times. I was prepared and I'm honestly just relieved it means I can enjoy my trip home and my babymoon later in November without having to worry too much.

Also my DH woke up this morning all snugly with me telling me that he had an amazing sex dream and how I had given him this perfect blow job. My only thought was "good, can that count as our sex for the week?". I didn't say it out loud but I am so not feeling it these days!!

Edit: words are hard

vjdk07 · November 2014

@GracefulStar
The way I understand it from the brief conversation I had today on the phone is I will be testing for the remainder of the pregnancy. I have an appointment with my OB next week so he can look at my first week of monitoring and decide if I need to take oral medication. If my numbers are ok, I may be able to check only twice daily instead of four times after a while. I have a meeting with the diabetic counselor on Thursday this week also. I will have monthly growth scans and beginning at 31 or 32 weeks, I will have twice weekly NSTs. I have also heard from a friend that had GD (but I don't know this information to be 100% accurate yet) that they will not let me go beyond 39 weeks.

MusicFanatic · November 2014

I'm sorry several of you had high blood pressure today!

Hopefully they are random fluke high readings and they don't go up.

peggels24 · November 2014

@ach831 I haven't worn my engagement ring and wedding ring since July

I miss them.

nah82 · November 2014

I had high blood pressure today too. It was 158/98 the first time they took it, two points away from the 160/100 MFM wants me to notify them. But pretty sure it was because I skipped my Labetalol this morning because I was having the glucose test (it makes me violently ill to take it without food in my stomach). They had me lay down on my left side for awhile and took it again and it was 10 points lower so I got the A-OK.

I haven't worn mine since first trimester pregnant with DD

I finally broke and asked DH for a cute fake band that I wear so at least I feel married. I miss my rings too!

So glad it went down!

No one is allowed blood pressure issues.

MusicFanatic · November 2014

My dinner was kinda yucky tonight. Usually it's pretty good (and if not good, at least decent).. it was sorta gross. I ate like 1/4 of it. Bah. One of the things I'm most excited for next month (besides getting a baby out of my ute) is my REAL FOOD!!!! I can't waittttttttttt.

@MusicFanatic‌ when I was preg with Zig and didn't eat for 9mos, I planned an elaborate menu in great detail for about a month after she was born. My family was amazing and honored my crazy whims. I had Cantonese chow mein for breakfast the day she was born and brownies and ice cream for lunch. Dinner was an Arby's burger with curly fries. Once I got home from the hospital, either mom or hubby made every single thing on my "I'm starving" menu.

Omg Arby's sounds devine right now.

I think I TOTALLY need to do this. I already know my mom plans on cooking for us the week Zoe comes- and she's an amazing cook and I love everything she makes so I'm stoked about that. HELLO sushi!!! My H is a wonderful cook, too, so I know he'd make some of the things I miss. Mmmm food.

robsbabygirl08 · November 2014

A)It's pouring outside and I love it!!!! I can't wait to go to bed and listen to it while I fall asleep!!!

B)I'm usually a tommy tuff nuts type of person, and it takes a lot to stop me. That being said, the pain in my pelvis when I stand up almost had me in tears several times today. I'm not sure how much longer I can keep up at work. I feel like this kid is going to fall out any day now.
